    Suggestions on Ipod location USB connection Alpine

    My factory was a 1-1/2" din option. I bought a 1 din radio and the mounting kit has a pocket in it. Maybe I can cut a hole and leave the ipod in the pocket? I would just hate for someone to see and steal it.

    Suggestions on Ipod location USB connection Alpine

    Upgrading Factory system - some suggestions needed.

    Are you kidding? It is the best thing on my car. It is a Crown Vic and I actually have to reach for the stereo. Having volume and able to change stations and CD tracks on the wheel is great. I am afraid I am going to wear the buttons out before the car. Now back to the important questions...
